For Sunday, Aug. 27, 2006:

You are high-energy this year and could make many changes. Be verbal, share your ideas and be willing to brainstorm. With openness, you’ll enjoy your work even more, and understandings head your way that previously were impossible. You must enjoy what you are doing. Steer clear of weird diets and health practices. If you are single, the next few months are the most likely period to meet someone.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

Aries (March 21-April 19)

As usual, you draw others, but what might be interesting is giving up your need to make the first move. Your precision comes out in a project at home. Others share much more of themselves. Tonight: Forget that tomorrow is Monday.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You get the job done with a smile on your face. You do make a huge difference. A discussion with a child or new friend adds a dreamy quality to your day. Know how deeply you care. Tonight: Think “tomorrow.”

Other signs count on you to tell it like it is. You might be a bit more heavy or serious than you would like to be. Add music to a gathering or meal. Lighten up. Tonight: Romance can heat up.

Of all signs, you are the happiest at home. You have a way of making your sweetie and people in general comfortable. Think long and hard before making an investment, especially if it involves property. Tonight: Have a barbecue.

You need to express what you feel. Holding back simply doesn’t work. Others are unusually chatty, but don’t think for one moment that their ideas are practical or realistic. Act on an idea for restructuring your finances. Tonight: At a favorite neighborhood haunt.

Your mind works overtime. Don’t disregard your inner voice. You might start to come up with some very good ideas. Get into a project, but know that you are going to have to spend some money. Don’t act on a weird diet! Tonight: Gather your bills.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You are in the thick of things as the Moon tosses you into the limelight. Enjoy all the benefits. A friend or older person gives you solid advice. Do you really want to follow it? I think not. Stop worrying so much. Tonight: Just be yourself.

Take time to think and breathe. Sometimes you work at such a hectic pace you wear yourself out. An idea will be as good tomorrow as it is today. Kick back, yawn and do only what you want. Use the moment. Tonight: Early to bed.

Choose activities that make you happy. Be with people you love. Someone you admire could call to brainstorm. You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do. Walk near water or go where there is music. Tonight: You have fun no matter where you are.

Others look to you for answers, support and leadership. News from a distance rings your bell. You might decide to take off in the near future. Enjoy yourself wherever you go, but know that others are observing you. Tonight: Could be late.

Take off for a movie and invite others to come along. You might opt for a day trip, which also works fine. In another setting, relationships change their tenor, and issues look different. Clear the air with a partner. Tonight: Let your imagination lead.

* Someone goes out of his or her way to talk to you or to clear the air. Respond. Take time to listen to an important person in your life. He or she might be serious, but has a good point. Tonight: Hang with a special person.
